Please move template into userspace

The template you created at Template:BumsoweeSignature should be moved to become a subpage of your user page (say, User:Bumsowee/Signature, or something similar). Pages in the "Template:" namespace should generally be related to Wikipedia as a whole, not to specific users. Please let me know (by replying here) if you need any help with this. - dcljr (talk) 00:24, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd go further and point out that using templates in signatures is explicitly disallowed by policy. M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 02:19, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah, there's that, too. [wink] You should just move whatever code you want to use into the "Signature" box in your preferences. Keep in mind, though, simpler is better. (I find the sig currently in your template to be very hard to read.) And whenever you change your sig in your preferences, it doesn't change any existing instances already on talk pages. You'll have to change them manually if you want them all to be consistent. (Which is one very good reason to keep it simple.) Note also the information at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how you see your signature, about how to emphasize your sig for yourself only, without affecting how others see it. - dcljr (talk) 03:44, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! Actually I thought that one was a bit OTT so I decided to abandon it. Do you have contact with the Deletion Administrator? Bumsowee (talk | contribs) (That's my signature now) Bumsowee (talk | contribs) 08:47, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can add the template call "{{db-g7}}" to the page and someone will drop by and delete it for you. (That template is used when the only user who has edited a page wants it deleted.) - dcljr (talk) 11:18, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whack!

Speedy deletion nomination of Kaibutsu

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kaibutsu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article does not exist or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Kaibutsu moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kaibutsu, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster _talk 22:13, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
